Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: In my humble opinion ... Comment: I'm a fan, don't get me wrong. On disc 1, there's 6/10 songs that are winners, but "certified bomb" is just embarrassing. On disc 2, there are 2 good songs, and one (Rock superstar) is basically just a remix from disc 1. The other good one was Valley of Chrome. After that, the attempt at metal is pretty poor, and it was a bad direction to take. Sen particularly let the band down on this album (he was great on IV.) Customer Rating: Summary: Love this CD! Comment: Die hard Cypress fan and like them even more with this CD. C'mon folks, how many rap artists can do rock/metal? I dig it and I like the mix. I would rate this second to Black Sunday. Customer Rating: Summary: No hits on this Skunk Weed Comment: I love cypress hill but cant stand this album. Its just plain horrible to listen too. Its the only cypress hill CD I dont own. Ice T went this route in the mid 90's. It didnt work then and doesnt work now. Customer Rating: Summary: B Real, Mugs, Sen Dawg.....What happend?! Comment: Black Sunday was amazing, Temple of Boom was brilliant, IV was not there best but still a masterpiece.....but now? Something has happend to the Hill and let me tell you buddy, I don't like it! What the hell happend Muggs? You were an amazing Music Producer?! I'm sorry to say this but RAP wise this is 1 star material(no not because there was limited rap songs in it...because it was baaaaaaaaaad....very, very bad). In all honesty the first CD is horrible, there was not one track I liked except for semi funny "stank A-hole"...the rest are just average....plain........average. They want from brilliantly Dark/stoned raiders to horrible sucky, suck rockers...yeah that's right. And if you're thinking I disliked it because they went rock then you're absolutley wrong, I loved "Lightning Strikes" which had a dark rock beat to it in the Hills amazing "IV"...The only metal/rap songs that are good on this album are "Valley of Chrome" which reminded me of "Lightning strikes", "Get out of my Head" and "Can't get the best of me" which we get to hear some of Sen Dawg(Maybe it's just me but I think this is the longest Hill song that Sen Dawg has rapped in were els the others he's very limited in)....yeah the rest I really didn't like that much and "Rock Superstar" was meh for me... Very sad with you guys :( ..... If you're a CH noob and looking to start somewere first get there debut(which is still a superb album) and work your way up to IV and then.....just wait for a good Hill album and skip there last 3 albums...there just...average.. 3.1/5 stars Customer Rating: Summary: Good....For What it Is Comment: Metal Rap bands tend to do poorly but these guys were different. They seem like their down with everyone and that's good. The talent level in rapping was very high but some of the songs fell flat with the beats etc. You should get this if you're into CYpress because they are good it's just that a lot of their songs aren't great. 2 Best Songs - Stank A** H** & (Rock) Superstar 2 Worst Songs - Cuban Necktie & Certified Bomb More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: As rap-metal hybrids continue to sell millions, Cypress Hill fills the "Bones Disc" of this two-CD set with a half-dozen hard rockers that keep things loose-limbed enough to incite the dance floor to something other than moshing. The best music the group has released in years, it shows that this decade-old act is still capable of surprise. The accompanying "Skull Disc" hardly delivers the same jolt, but should satisfy hardcore fans of the Hill. While Cypress Hill sound convincing and forceful over the 64 minutes of Skull & Bones, the record's lyrics have little new to say: most of these songs warn off would-be competitors, praise ganja, or complain about the hardships presented by the rappers' celebrity status. Still, the crunching "Bones" tracks and the occasional Spanglish verses show that this crew hasn't run out of spirit yet. --Bob Roget
